In Episode 409 of Friends Talking Nerdy, hosts Professor Aubrey and Tim the Nerd dive deep into a heartfelt and wide-ranging discussion that spans Hollywood, professional wrestling, and British sci-fi.The episode opens with a tribute to the legendary actor Val Kilmer, who recently passed away. Professor Aubrey and Tim the Nerd reflect on Kilmer's diverse and iconic filmography, sharing personal stories and thoughts on his most memorable performances. From the enigmatic Jim Morrison in The Doors to the cool intellect of Real Genius, the hosts explore Kilmer's range and charisma. They praise his unforgettable turn as Doc Holliday in Tombstone, his magical role in Willow, and even delve into the controversy and stylistic flair of Batman Forever. The discussion takes a thought-provoking turn as they examine The Chaos Experiment, a lesser-known film with eerie relevance to today's U.S. political climate, underscoring Kilmer's later-career choices and the unexpected legacy some of his work may leave. Naturally, no conversation about Kilmer would be complete without mentioning Top Gun, a film that helped define an era and cemented Kilmer's place in pop culture history.Next, Tim the Nerd switches gears to the squared circle as he offers his insights into the 2025 WWE Hall of Fame inductees. He celebrates the long-overdue induction of Triple H, reflecting on his in-ring legacy and behind-the-scenes influence. Tim also discusses Michelle McCool's contributions to the women's division, the undeniable charisma and strength of Lex Luger, and the tag-team chaos brought by The Natural Disasters—Earthquake and Typhoon. A special segment is devoted to the induction of one of wrestling's most iconic moments: Bret Hart vs. Stone Cold Steve Austin at WrestleMania 13—an induction not of a person, but of a legendary match that defined the Attitude Era. Tim explores how this match's storytelling and in-ring psychology continue to influence professional wrestling to this day.Finally, the episode wraps up with Tim sharing his initial reactions to the new season of Doctor Who on Disney+. Despite high hopes, he expresses disappointment, critiquing a perceived disconnect between the show's creative intentions and what actually makes it to screen. Tim explores how Doctor Who's new direction may be missing the emotional and narrative impact longtime fans expect, offering a thoughtful take on what's working and what's falling short.As always, we wish to thank Christopher Lazarek for his wonderful theme song.

From Michelle McCool to Lex Luger to the Natural Disasters to Triple H, Dave and Rey break down this year's class and why they deserve the honor of being a Hall of Famer. The show's back half, though, is where things get really fun. Dave & Rey posed a question to your favorite Chairshot personalities from the present and the past: Who should be inducted into the Hall of Fame? 20 different people cast their votes to induct one person to the celebrity wing, one tag team, one woman, and three men into the Hall of Fame. Sixty-six (66) different people/teams got votes, but in the end, the winners were determined.

Welcome to Wrestling Tonight, your go-to source for smart, thoughtful coverage of the entire wrestling landscape — from the bright lights of WWE and AEW to NJPW, TNA, and the vibrant indie scene. This is Episode 120, and it's our WrestleMania Week Megapreview — the most stacked episode of the year for the most stacked week of the year. We kick things off in Las Vegas with WrestleMania 41, and we've got your full match-by-match breakdown across both nights at Allegiant Stadium. From the decade-in-the-making Triple Threat between Roman Reigns, CM Punk, and Seth Rollins, to Cody Rhodes vs. John Cena, Gunther vs. Jey Uso, and Tiffany Stratton vs. Charlotte Flair, this Mania card might be one of the most balanced and compelling we've seen in years. But Mania is just the start. We also spotlight the WWE Hall of Fame Class of 2025, with Triple H, Lex Luger, and Michelle McCool getting their flowers — and a special nod to the legendary Bret Hart vs. Steve Austin submission match from WrestleMania 13, now enshrined as the first-ever “Immortal Moment.” Then it's over to NXT Stand & Deliver, where the next generation looks to steal the weekend. We've got Oba Femi defending the NXT Title, a chaotic ladder match to crown the first Women's North American Champion, and crossover talent from TNA and NJPW thrown into the mix. From there, we pivot to the AEW side of things — and it's anything but quiet. PAC's latest injury has reshuffled the deck, and now Jon Moxley finds himself pulling double duty, defending both the AEW World Title and the Trios Championships. The Owen Hart Foundation Tournament is heating up too, with semifinal showdowns set: Will Ospreay vs. Konosuke Takeshita, Mercedes Moné vs. Athena, and more. Plus, The Hurt Syndicate (Lashley & Benjamin) are rolling, while Chris Jericho steps away from AEW — for now. We'll also take you through the key fallout from NJPW Windy City Riot, where Hiroshi Tanahashi wrestled his final U.S. match in an emotional clash with Konosuke Takeshita. Plus, Tomohiro Ishii claims gold in a brutal Iron Man Match, and Hirooki Goto continues his reign atop NJPW. And don't worry — we're not skipping the indies. Vegas is a wrestling playground this week. From the no-ropes chaos of Bloodsport XIII, to the glam of Effy's Big Gay Brunch 10, the spectacle of WrestleCon, and the unhinged insanity of Joey Janela's Spring Break, we run through every major show you should have on your radar — including talent, match cards, and where to stream it all. We wrap things up with your Las Vegas survival guide: How far is Allegiant from the Strip? What's the best way to get from Pearl Theater to T-Mobile Arena? Where to eat between sessions? And what's streaming on Peacock vs. FITE vs. Wrestle Universe?

Here is your Pro Wrestling News Report for April 9, 2025. Running Time: 49 Minutes.  Note from DT: Originally I had no desire to do this news update. But you will hear within the first 15 minutes why I changed my mind. No matter what was going on, Kev always did everything he could for the show to go on. Even in his final hour, he was thinking about Monday's DTKC Show and all of you. I legit heard Kev Castle in my heart yelling at me to get off my ass and do this for everyone. He always did. Topics covered in this report include:  More on the passing of our fallen friend Kevin Castle, the amazing tributes pouring in for Kev, The DTKC Family going forward, and a heartfelt thank you to everyone WWE announces Kamala, Ivan Koloff and Dory Funk, Sr for 2025 WWE Hall Of Fame: Legacy Wing Less than two weeks before it happens, Lex Luger claims WWE hasn't responded about Sting inducting him into Hall Of Fame. Tony Khan claims he hasn't spoken with Sting about the Luger induction. And Sting hasn't contacted TK about inducting Luger. Do you believe them? Drew McIntyre explains why many newer wrestlers of today are pu**ies; feels storyline and emotion trump actual wrestling; and makes a hilarious comment about Brock Lesnar Tiffany Stratton addresses her controversial promo exchange with Charlotte Flair on SmackDown Stephanie Vaquer to defend NXT Women's Championship in a Fatal 4-Way at NXT Stand And Deliver WWE signs partnership deals with Getty Images and Minute Maid Michin vs Sol Ruca: WWE Speed Number One Contenders Tournament Final Vince McMahon, Linda McMahon and WWE file motions to have the 'Ring Boys' Lawsuit dismissed.
